Fugu-Ultra v1.1 is an update to its orchestration model Fugu Ultra released by Sakana AI on July 24, 2026. It is not a single trained language model, but rather a multi-agent orchestration system that dynamically coordinates multiple frontier LLMs (e.g., Claude, GPT, Gemini) and provides them through a single OpenAI-compatible API. Sakana reports improvements of up to 7.9 Benchmark points over v1.0, particularly in ProgramBench and Terminal Bench 2.1, as well as positioning above Anthropic's Fable 5 in complex Coding and Reasoning tasks. The service is proprietary and is offered at the unchanged price of v1.0; according to Sakana, the EU/EEA is currently not served.
